History of Education inJapan

Formal education in Japan beganwith the adoption of Chineseculture in the 6th century.

Restoration. Students and even high-ranking

teach at newly founded universities

and military academies.

of the education system to preparethe nation for war.

teachers to schools. After the defeat in World War II, the

allied occupation government set an

education reform as one of itsprimary goals, to eradicate militaristteachings and "democratize" Japan.
